When Johannes Vermeer’s seventeenth-century Dutch painting “The Lacemaker” was in the conservation lab of the Musée du Louvre in 1954, Salvador Dalí began this painting, a meticulous copy of the original. Correspondence between Robert Lehman and Dalí suggests that the collector commissioned Dali’s copy of Vermeer’s masterpiece.
